ReportDOI

Synoptic survey of water quality and bottom sediments, San Juan Bay estuary system, Puerto Rico, December 1994-July 1995

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of homonymity in homonym identification, i.e., homonymization, in the context of homology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving sediment-quality guidelines for nickel: Development and application of predictive bioavailability models to assess chronic toxicity of nickel in freshwater sediments

TL;DR: Normalization of toxicity values reduced the intersediment variability in toxicity values significantly for the amphipod species Hyalella azteca and G. pseudolimnaeus, but these relationships were less clearly defined for the mayfly Hexagenia sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

China's Yangtze estuary: II. Phosphorus and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in tidal flat sediments

TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of phosphorus (P) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in tidal flat sediments from the Yangtze estuary and Hangzhou Bay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of San Diego Bay marinas

TL;DR: Investigation of the spatial distribution, composition, and sources of PAHs in sediments of three recreational marinas in San Diego Bay, California revealed significant differences among marinas, with concentrations in one site exceeding 16,000ngg-1.
Book ChapterDOI

Sediment Quality of Estuaries in the Southeastern U.S.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to assess the condition of estuaries in the EMAP Carolinian Province (Cape Henry, VA - St. Lucie Inlet, FL).

Mercury Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review

Ronald Eisler
TL;DR: A review of the available literature on the ecological and toxicological aspects of mercury (Hg) in the environment, with special reference to fish and wildlife resources, is reviewed and summarized in this paper.
Book

Selenium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review

Ronald Eisler
TL;DR: A review of the environmental and toxicological aspects of selenium in the environment is presented in this paper, including its chemistry, background residues in biological and other materials, and toxic, sub-lethal, and latent effects (including the effects of Se deficiency).
Journal ArticleDOI

Current approaches to developing sediment quality criteria

TL;DR: It is concluded that, for chemical-by-chemical criteria, the equilibrium partitioning method shows promise; for criteria that are also applicable to chemical mixtures, the apparent effects threshold/sediment quality triad approaches appear to be most appropriate.
